What can I do with a management degree?

Management

Managers are the cornerstones of all organizations. On a day-to-day basis, managers ensure that the tasks are completed and goals are met. On a broader basis, they make the key decisions that keep organizations running and competitive. Managers not only have influence on the organizations for which they work, but ultimately influence our quality of life. Few other jobs allow a person to have as great an impact on other people. The manager’s job is truly challenging. Very few, however, are born with the abilities necessary to perform a manager’s job. Instead, the skills needed by managers are acquired through education and experience.

You can apply your management degree in organizational behavior, human resources, and strategic planning. Talented business managers are in every industry, ranging from banking to technology and healthcare to education. You can find jobs as a business analyst, account executive, human resources manager, or management consultant.

Professional Land & Resource Management

As a professional land & resource management major, you learn the ins and outs of managing leases in tandem with oil and gas companies, right in the heart of the Gulf coast oil and gas industry. You are not limited to the oil and gas industry as the degree is carefully planned to prepare you for rewarding career opportunities in industries dealing with land, natural resources, and environmental management issues. With a background in geology, biology, law, and liberal arts, you will have the foundation needed to handle all aspects of a career with landmen and industry executives.
